Title: Modal Not working Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Modal Not working * [Dana Duarte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dana-duarte/) * (@dana-duarte) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modal-not-working-1/) * Hi, I’ve trying to use this plugin for a long time, I can’t get the content to display, in this page: [http://desarrolladores.payulatam.com/api-pagos/](http://desarrolladores.payulatam.com/api-pagos/) inside the first accordion. I added The link as [Ver monedas admitidas](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modal-not-working-1/?output_format=md#), but this doesn’t call the modal, I read all the documentation and really I don’t understand why is this not working. Please Help me with this issue * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-modal/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-modal/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modal-not-working-1/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modal-not-working-1/page/2/?output_format=md) * [waltmesser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/waltmesser/) * (@waltmesser) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modal-not-working-1/#post-5425784) * Hi Dana, sorry for your frustration, and thanks for being patient. * It looks like you might have your modal set to **Load** on **Per Page/Post**, and if this is the case, you need to make sure you go to that actual page or post in the WP Admin (where you are using the modal), scroll to the bottom, and you’ll find the **Easy Modal Per Page/Post Editor**. * From there, make sure you select the corresponding modal you want to load on that page/post by checking the correct box, and you’re all done. * However, if this is a modal you’re going to be using multiple times, just set it to **Load Site Wide**, and you’re all done, no need to go to a specific page/ post in the WP Admin when using **Site Wide**. * Let me know if this solves your problem! * Thanks 🙂 * Thread Starter [Dana Duarte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dana-duarte/) * (@dana-duarte) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modal-not-working-1/#post-5425794) * ok I tried This: 1.

Even in this older version Easy Modal, the modal itself will load in the footer( even though other stuff is in the header.) * Well, your theme doesn’t have wp_footer, as it looks as if the footer hard-coded in there. Without wp_footer, no modals will load, therefore when you call them, they don’t popup. * Using wp_footer in themes is standard practice, and this issue is a result of a non-standardized theme. * There’s only 2 solutions to this problem: * 1) Change the theme and code to use wp_footer, or 2) Use a theme that implements wp_footer – as I mentioned, this is standard practice, so in all honesty, all WP themes _should_ have this. * As such, this particular problem is not an Easy Modal bug/break, but instead, your theme is simply not standardized. * Hope this helps clear some things up! * Thread Starter [Dana Duarte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dana-duarte/) * (@dana-duarte) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modal-not-working-1/#post-5425865) * Thank you for your help, I’ll follow your instructions and tell you the result * [waltmesser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/waltmesser/) * (@waltmesser) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modal-not-working-1/#post-5425899) * You’re welcome Dana. * Good luck! * Thread Starter [Dana Duarte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dana-duarte/) * (@dana-duarte) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modal-not-working-1/#post-5425972) * HI! After looking for your recommendations, I realized that the wp_footer is inside the theme, as this is the standarized twentytwelve theme. Is there another way to fix this problem? * Here is a screenshot showing that the wp_footer is there. * [http://desarrolladores.payulatam.com/images/footer.jpg](http://desarrolladores.payulatam.com/images/footer.jpg) * Thanks in advance. * [waltmesser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/waltmesser/) * (@waltmesser) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modal-not-working-1/#post-5425975) * Thanks for getting back to us Dana. I’m sorry these fixes didn’t work for you. * We’re looking into the issue now. * Just wanted to double check, you did update the Easy Modal plug-in to the most recent version, correct? * Thread Starter [Dana Duarte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dana-duarte/) * (@dana-duarte) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modal-not-working-1/#post-5425978) * Yes, I download the new version from this page: * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-modal/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-modal/) * [serendpt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/serenine/) * (@serenine) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modal-not-working-1/#post-5425981) * Hello, * In case this is a possible solution.. I was having the same issue and did 2 things: 1. Cleared all cache files from a plugin called WP Supercache 2. Cleared browser cache * HTH * Plugin Author [Daniel Iser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danieliser/) * (@danieliser) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modal-not-working-1/#post-5425982) * Hey Dana, * Wanted to chime in here after looking at your responses. You do show having wp_footer() function there but you are also calling scripts via the script src tag. This is a no-no in WordPress. * Take a look at [wp_enqueue_script](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script), which is the appropriate way to add JS to your theme. * There is also a corresponding function wp_enqueue_style for CSS. * If you don’t load them this way, you’re definitely in for trouble down the line. Using those functions will ensure that you only load 1 copy of jQuery for instance, where you are currently loading 2 copies. One hard coded in your theme and the other is loaded inside the minified cached script your caching plugin is creating. * For an example, think of it this way, you hard coded jQuery into your theme, then our plugin and many others enqueue it using WordPress functions. * What happens is that your hard coded and the enqueued version both get loaded at different times, not only slowing things slightly, but also causing JS bugs. * Second, your wp_footer() function seems to be not working properly, which may be due to your caching plugin being over aggressive. Try disabling cache plugin, clearing browser history and fixing the hard coded JS and CSS in your theme. * I will be glad to take a look again after you get that squared away. * On another note, your screenshot shows the wp_footer function but i believe that you must have accidentally typed over it and saved after the screenshot as your footer currently goes like this * script script script * asd (actual text, where wp_footer should have been called) *
